What are your thoughts on the buffs to yondu and Deadpool X Force? Out of the two I prefer Yondu way more that prowess removal and passive furies does make him better. As for Deadpool X Force I liked the animations but I feel something is missing from the kit and could have had a bit more to make him slightly more decent. Deadpool X Force feels as though it was designed for beginner level players to lower mid level players he can be fun in variant 8 though thats where I feel I can use him.. As for Yondu he's an option you can use if you don't have a champ who can remove prowess effectively not the top but at a decent place.

I'm not a fan of DPXs animations and i know I'll hey hate for it. The skip looks silly and the slap looks like an unfinished T-Pose animation. He only has Bleed, Taunt and Power Gain IF awakned.
How does a 2022 champ have such little in there kit?
AND the bleed damage isn't even that crazy to justify that little they have overall?
DPX didnt get anything actually useful and nearly no change to his damage aswell. They 100% put more time into his animations than they did his kit which is extremely dumb since he isnt worth playing so people wont even see the animations unless you fight him, which will also be harder now that he only uses sp2 and his sp2 is just a barage of bullets.
DPX is bad. He's just not good
It’s a pretty poor buff, he has one extra piece of utility than pre buff. Making his total utility list… 1.
Average damage, very minor utility. If a champ has issues taking down the meatbag then they are joining the long list of useless buffs.
If by buff they wanted both champs to be more annoying on defense, then they succeeded at that
But offensively none of these buffs matter
Yondu matters only to those who don't have Nimrod & desperately need a prowess counter
Or he could be useful against Omega Sentinel
But DPX is an absolute failure, which is a shame coz his animations are so good
2017 has a wide selection of champs that outclass DPXF even without buffs. Sparky, blade, Psylocke, Morningstar, Medusa, gwenpool, archangel etc. I feel it gets the point across better
Animations wise I’m not a huge fun of his new ones, I don’t know if I prefer his old I kinda just don’t like either.
This is why we kept Storm's kit simple, and it's why we did it with Deadpool. These are Champs that new Players are more likely to obtain and use, and we want to keep their kits more simple.
do we know if xpool is working as intended? there have been some posts and also noticed it my self, that his crit dmg is under 1000 the majority of the time? i understand his dmg comes from bleeds but just want to make sure. my xpool is r3 6* so seeing numbers under 1000 is kind of concerning imo
He hasn't been in 5* crystals till 2 months ago. So no. He is not more likely to be obtained. He's in 6* but that's not something newer players are going to get.
But this was a champ with absolutely no utility and carbon copy animations of 3 others champs in the gems. Now he’s unique, fun to use, and has actual utility, I just 2 shot 6.3.1 Medusa with him last night. She readily threw specials and the bleeds were very effective.
Tried him against all or nothing node and he was great, same with diss track. Did all this with an R1 6star.
Are there better champs or more complete kits out there? Yes. But this still remains a very successful buff IMO.
I wish I could talk to the buff/rework people and find out why they keep doing this partial effort nonsense and half measures. It's maddening. Every champ shouldn't be an OP world crusher, but this is another wasted month. So many good ideas and mechanics that could be implemented or straight up lifted from other champs and they choose to do this?
For all the actual taunting he does (only 3? 😐) and the attention paid to their increase on chance to throw specials (none), they might as well have been strong Weakness passives or even better a special lockout passive or buff and tie the stronger weakness to his poke bleeds or a long sig Hemorrhage passive.
yet, you updated the sp2 animation to be impossible to be evaded for early game players (and hard for even end gamers as well)
DPX I haven't tried out. I kind of like the skipping when fighting him, it's very Ryan Reynolds.
I hope they take a look at his SP2 damage - I wonder has it just been set wrong, like Hawkeye's Sig was at first?
How easy is for a newcomer to deal with Black Panther, DDHK, Storm, Gamora, Deadpool X etc. special animations?
These champs had plain, clean, short animations that were identical to other champs, making it easier to be memorised and be evaded by a new player. These specials aren’t as easy to deal now.
In my opinion, old champs should have generous number updates, rather than more complex abilities and animations, we have newer champs to serve that purpose.
The game is becoming more and more new players hostile.
I’m just gonna move on if I get to a point where I feel the game isn’t interesting and not happy with it I just stop playing that’s it. Some still playing this game are not chasing after the newest champs and trying to get to the top and stuff. Some are in relaxed alliance, trying to enjoy the game and they spend. Buffs are a big excitement for them as well so keep buffing champs for newer players cos they are available as 2-4 stars.
And secondly, those buffs aren’t going to help new players either.
On the other side they will just make their life more difficult with their added abilities and animations complexity.
Just because a handful of people frame their arguments around Everest content being out of reach, doesn't mean everyone lacks perspective.
Is DPX worthless? No. Would I classify him as valuable now? No. He still sucks, just less and that's mainly because of his animations.
